[Bioperl-l] perl Makefile.pl

Brian,

Yes, I've done this successfully but it was some time ago. I prefer this
approach to the "native" Windows approach, which uses Command Prompt/MS-DOS
Prompt, since Cygwin actually sets up a Unix shell, bash. You  also get a C
compiler with CygWin and other Unix utilities (grep, sed, cat, sort, uniq,
head, tail, wc, etc.) and these can be useful when doing bioinformatics.
